Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
wir laden Sie herzlich zum Online-Vortrag von Ana Petrov (FMK Belgrad) am Montag, 28. November 2022 um 12:00 zum Thema "Rethinking the Sociology of (Yugo)Nostalgia" ein.
Der Vortrag wird in serbischer Sprache gehalten und findet im Rahmen der LV „Literaturwissenschaftliches Proseminar B/K/S – Postjugoslawische Nostalgien: Literarische Geschichte eines umstrittenen Begriffes“ (LV-Leiter: Goran Lazičić) am Institut für Slawistik statt.
Abstract:
In this lecture I will deal with the concepts of nostalgia and Yugonostalgia from different historical and theoretical perspectives, arguing that Yugonostalgia can be seen as one of many historical manifestations of a much broader concept. The lecture will address the following issues. Firstly, I will point to divergent meanings of the concept of nostalgia, especially in the sociological discourses; secondly, I will analyse the transformations of the concept in the 20th and 21st centuries, showing how nostalgia has become one of the means in the consumerist societies; then, I will illustrate the meanings of the concept on the example of Yugonostalgia, arguing that this kind of nostalgia has also become a product in nowadays post-Yugoslav societies; finally, I will conclude with certain suggestions for revisiting the theoretical approaches to the concepts of nostalgia and Yugonostalgia.
